NFL fines Williams, Lenoir for actions in 49ers-Chiefs game originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Matchups between the 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs always produce high-intensity moments, and Week 7 last Sunday at Levi’s Stadium was no different.
Two separate incidents resulted in fines for four players — 49ers left tackle Trent Williams ($11,817 fine), 49ers cornerback Demodore Lenoir ($11,817), Chiefs safety Brian Cook ($8,442.64) and Chiefs wide receiver Skye Moore ($9,356.83). .
The Super Bowl LVIII rematch featured plenty of drama, including a late-game brawl between Williams and Cook. After Cook hit Williams in the side of the helmet while the lineman was on the ground, Williams stood up and hit Cook in the back of the helmet and was then ejected in San Francisco’s eventual 28-18 loss.
Despite Cook hitting Williams first, the NFL fined him less than the 49ers star.
Kansas City’s Brian Cook, who struck Trent Williams first, was fined $8,442.64 for unnecessary roughness (hitting/kicking/kneeling).

Like Williams, Lenoir was also fined for unnecessary roughness after a postgame brawl that occurred on the field involving Moore. Moore was fined less than Lenoir as well.
Both incidents came just as San Francisco’s fifth straight defeat at the hands of Kansas City was set, and frustration was clearly simmering. The 49ers will look to turn things around in Week 8 against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium.
